Michael Matthews suggested ( about West Indies Test ) : “I believe Barbados is strong in Women’s Cricket because we have a strong core at the moment and some very experienced players in our camp. The BCA is doing a lot more for Women’s cricket for the last few years but with that being said there needs to be structures put in place throughout the Region if we hope to see West Indies Women’s cricket improve. Trinidad has a fairly good structure down there but when you look at the other places like Guyana, Jamaica…the Leewards and Windwards…they need a lot more improvement. I hope CWI can invest more in the structure of Women’s cricket at the Regional Boards since it will make West Indies cricket stronger. I think having cricket (Boys & Girls) in Secondary Schools is very important and there should be a programme where past and present male and female players visit schools to coach and inspire the students that if they work hard, one day they could play for their Country and West Indies,”

West Indies need someone to show them how to win. Sometimes when you fear the inevitable, you invite it. There is much promise in this side but it is on a downward spiral, and the new talent coming in will take the shape of the mould it is cast into.
